Dietary-Driven Gene Expansion. [PDF]
Clin Pharmacol TherGene duplication has been shown to drive molecular evolution, with dietary pressures expanding detoxification genes across species. In humans, CYP2D6 gene duplications enhance alkaloid and drug metabolism, reflecting ancient dietary adaptations. Similarly, tobacco‐feeding aphids amplify CYP6CY3 for nicotine and insecticide resistance, and as recently ...

The desert woodrat (Neotoma lepida) induces a diversity of biotransformation genes in response to creosote bush resin. [PDF]
Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol PharmacolLiver biotransformation enzymes have long been thought to enable animals to feed on diets rich in xenobiotic compounds. However, despite decades of pharmacological research in humans and rodents, little is known about hepatic gene expression in ...
